Clemens and Pettitte not named in Grimsley affidavit

Newsday, as well as other outlets, are reporting that Roger Clemens

and Andy Pettitte were not mentioned in Jason Grimsley's affidavit

when it was unsealed today.

The Los Angeles Times reported last year that both, as well as Brian

Roberts, were in the affidavit.

While Clemens denies ever using any performance-enhancing drugs,

Roberts and Pettitte have already come clean.

Clemens' attorney released a statement tonight:

"When this grossly inaccurate story broke in October 2006, Roger

said it was untrue and the Los Angeles Times chose not to believe

him. As the record now clearly proves, Roger was telling the truth

then, just as he continues to tell the truth today. Roger Clemens

did not take steroids, and anybody who says he did had better start

looking for a hell of a good lawyer." (LoHud Yankees Blog)

This makes Clemens look good for the moment. However, I still want to

hear from Clemens himself, and not from statements released by his

people.
